Jimbo Fisher developed a reputation as a “quarterback whisperer” during his heyday at Florida State.

Three consecutive starters -- Christian Ponder, EJ Manuel and Jameis Winston -- turned into first-round draft picks. So with this production came interest from blue-chip quarterbacks across the country who hoped Fisher could mold them into a first-rounder as well.

This led to a parade of ultra-talented quarterbacks coming to Tallahassee during the summer to either meet or throw for Fisher. At its peak, the Jimbo Fisher Camp was playing host to multiple draft picks or blue-chip quarterbacks each summer...and that’s where On The Bench’s Camp Memories Series picks up. Josh Newberg and Bud Elliott of 247Sports sit down with Brendan Sonnone to go over the quarterback talent that came to Tallahassee in the mid 2010s, and how some developments drastically changed the outlook of the FSU program.
